DDC Review:
In this "docunovel" techno-thriller, Michael Crichton dispells costly,
extremist information myths which have plagued our society for decades. The
book is well-researched and presented as only Crichton can. A must,
entertaining, read for anyone searching for the return of common sense to
civilized society in danger of being overcome by stupidy and the lack of
truth.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
"In Paris, a physicist dies after performing a laboratory experiment for a
beautiful visitor. In the jungles of Malaysia, a mysterious buyer purchases
deadly cavitation technology, built to his specifications. In Vancouver, a
small research submarine is leased for use in the waters off New Guinea. And
in Tokyo, an intelligence agent tries to understand what it all means." Thus
begins Michael Crichton's techno-thriller State of Fear, which takes the
reader from the glaciers of Iceland to the volcanoes of Antarctica, from the
Arizona desert to the deadly jungles of the Solomon Islands, from the
streets of Paris to the beaches of Los Angeles.
